“This is a nice tool but it works extremely unstable on Mac OS Monterey. The core audio and the driver itself requires frequent restarts. Also SoundId reference audiodevice often autoswitch audio output on itself when I want to use some other audiodevice directly. Enabling of correction very often doesn't work without restarting.”
Hello,
Thank you for the review!
Yes, we are currently aware of the driver issue but there are a few workarounds:
1. You can restart the playback engine within the SoundID Reference application
2. Installing the previous version of our software will eliminate the issue.
Keep note, that all of our development effort is currently concentrated on improving and polishing the SoundID Reference, so I am sure we'll get to the bottom of this soon.

Hope this helps!
“After a trial period with 3 different solutions, I purchased SoundID, having been convinced that it was the best option for producing more accurate mixing and mastering in my studio. Besides already having profiles for headphones, the real benefit was in creating profiles for 2 sets of studio monitors. The best selling feature is the trial period with a fully functional product. Being able to use it standalone and as a plugin means that you can easily verify the difference that it makes to your output. SoundID is great for the imperfect rooms that most of us work in.”
